01:033:008 And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met?
And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.
01:033:009 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast
unto thyself.
01:033:010 And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace
in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have
seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast
pleased with me.
01:033:011 Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee;
because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.
And he urged him, and he took it.
01:033:012 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I
will go before thee.
01:033:013 And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are
tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men
should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
01:033:014 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I
will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and
the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.
01:033:015 And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk
that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the
sight of my lord.
01:033:016 So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.
01:033:017 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and
made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called
Succoth.
01:033:018 And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the
land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before
the city.
01:033:019 And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his
tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for an
hundred pieces of money.
01:033:020 And he erected there an altar, and called it EleloheIsrael.
01:034:001 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob,
went out to see the daughters of the land.
01:034:002 And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the
country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.
01:034:003 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he
loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.
01:034:004 And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this
damsel to wife.
01:034:005 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now
his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace
until they were come.
01:034:006 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to
commune with him.
01:034:007 And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard
it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had
wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter: which thing
ought not to be done.
01:034:008 And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son
Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife.
